As far as Tolinos are concerned, just get the matching Kobo (Libra 2 here?) instead, you'd just be adding an extra layer of pain (i.e., Android) on very nearly identical hardware.

(Usual caveats about the Libra 2 board apply in this specific case, but I'd *still* get it over an Android monstrosity, which should tell you something...).

EDIT: Mmkay, the Vision 6 is an oddity in the usual lineup in that it does *not* (yet?) have a matching Kobo (it's essentially a Sage with the Elipsa's RAM in a Libra 2 shell, which, not gonna lie, sounds really good on paper ;p). So, in this specific case, the hardware is *significantly* superior to the closest match, being the Libra 2. But at that point, I'd still just get a Sage, because Android is pain.

EDIT²: And the actual answer to your question is currently "not entirely" anyway.
